Klahowya Brothers!

The lodge now has a Remind account. This allows us all to keep in better communication by receiving messages and lodge announcements via text.

• To join: Text this message: @tkopek To this number: 81010

The lodge can send a text, and everyone who is signed up will receive that text. This is not a chat group; you can reply to the Lodge messages, but your reply will ONLY go to the Remind administrator, NOT the entire lodge (don't worry about your phone blowing up with messages).

Spread this around to all your brothers in T'Kope to help ensure our lodge stays connected and informed.

On September 30th, T'Kope Kwiskwis Lodge will be joining the festivities of National Public Lands Day by helping clean up our beaches at Olympic National Park. A new change to the event this year is that we have made it into an overnight campout so you have ample time to enjoy the beauty of our national parks as well. We intend to drive up Saturday morning and check into Mora Campground where we will be camping. We will then drive to the Second Beach where we will be cleaning up and enjoying the view. We will end the day at Mora Campground. So, mark the date and we hope to see you there participating in all the fun of NPLD!

On July 21st, the brothers of Lamonti Tupso Illahee gathered together for an overnight backyard BBQ to pass the torch to the new chapter chief of the chapter Xander Kidwell. The chapter also got the chance to see the log they will be using for their totem pole. This will help kick off the planning process for the totem. Overall everyone had a great time and LTI is looking to do the same thing next summer!

Coming soon on September 15th to the 17th is the Section Conclave! This year, T’Kope is hosting Conclave at Camp Pigott. For this reason, we are wanting as many of our arrowmen as possible to register as staff. If you would like to spend a weekend helping give Section W-1N an amazing weekend, please click the two links bellow to sign up.

The cost for this weekend is $70, but only $50 if you register before September 10, and $45 if you went through your ordeal within the past year.

For any of you who are just going as a participant, you will still have a wonderful time! This year’s theme is superheroes, so we have many great activities including a Super Smash Brothers tournament and we are also hoping to get displays from all branches of the US military, Search and Rescue, the Sheriff’s department, and from the fire department. Along with these events, we will be having the ranges, COPE, whiffle ball golf, rock climbing, any many more other activities. Lastly, we will be hosting a patch auction at Conclave to send arrowmen to the National Leadership Seminar.

My name is Tegan Y., and I am the Conclave Vice-Chief of Merchandising for the Boy Scouts of America Section W-1N of the Order of the Arrow – Scouting’s National Honor Society – and we are hosting our annual Section gathering and auction at the Chief Seattle Council’s Camp Pigott east of Monroe from Sept. 15-17.

The event brings youth and adults from Western Washington and Alaska for training, fellowship, camping, yearly elections, inspirational shows and fun activities During the weekend event, we host a variety of Leadership Training for Youth age 13 to 21 years old.

Being entitled to the position Conclave Vice-Chief of Merchandising, I am also in charge of our auction, and I am seeking out donations to help raise funds that will go directly to our section to help provide the five Order of the Arrow Lodges within our section to offer resources to strengthen their program and to assist in their progression within their Journey To Excellence. Please be sure to donate at least one item which will very much be helpful for us making this a successful auction! If you donate over $50 worth of items, you will receive a very special and limited donor conclave patch.

You can contact me via email at judoteg8@gmail.com or call/text 206-883- 6833.
